Democratic Women's Association

The Democratic Women's Association was a political organization led by Tahira Mazhar Ali in 1950. The organization was founded with the intention of including worker's rights with women's right in Pakistan. It was the first leftist organization in Pakistan that represented women's rights.[1]

It was a grassroots movement beginning its work in small neighborhoods and involved mobilization of women and workers.[2]

Leadership

Tahira Mazhar Ali was the founding General Secretary for the DWA.[3] This allowed for coalitions that helped her further her agenda in the national politics of Pakistan.

The political organization ran with the Communist Party of Pakistan (CPP).[3]

gollark: If I spent a lot of krist on lasers I could plausibly get 128 or so, enough to cover half a chunk at once.
gollark: It'd take a year at optimal speeds. Probably more in practice since a player would need to be there to manage them.
